SASSA has blamed the Department of Home Affairs for a "blunder" which led to dead beneficiaries being paid out 75,000 times, amounting to R140 million in losses.

The National Prosecuting Authority confirmed that over 1,000 charges will be levelled against SASSA officials arrested for the theft of R265 million from the agency.

Members of Parliament have welcomed the arrest of SASSA officials allegedly involved in R265 million fraud, but South Africans aren't celebrating the news.

Gauteng SAPS arrested four SASSA officials in the province who are believed to be part of a syndicate linked to the theft of more than R260 million from the agency.

South Africans sympathised with a SASSA beneficiary who was scammed twice after retiring the old gold card for the new SASSA and Postbank black card.

South Africans have urged SASSA to improve its service after the agency announced that the deadline for upgrading to the new Postbank card has been extended.

Postbank has urged SASSA recipients to switch to the black card before 28 February, but South Africans have complained that system issues make the task impossible.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has confirmed the dates for February payments, but some social media users are not happy about it.
